Hi, I am actually in a similar boat as you. Though I have an April 2006 PD for EB3 and am now on EAD as well.
Question1: Is it better to try and port my EB3 to EB2 with a different employer. Isn't GC for future employment ? If so, can't I negotiate with another employer and file new labour under EB2 and try and port my priority date from EB3 ? Also, if I do this will my current employer find out ?
Questions2: What is the process for porting EB3 to EB2 without current employer finding out ? What documents are required ? My current employer is not going to give me a copy of my I-140 or my Labour Cert. All I have is the receipt notice of my I-485 filing and my AP/EAD documents.
Questions3: Is it possible that since there are so many India EB2 applicants and fewer India EB3 applicants that it is better to stick with EB3 April 2006 PD ? Dosen't a seperate quota get allocated to EB3 than that which gets allocated to EB2 each year or will EB3 always be behind EB2? Please advise.
I will really appreciate someone who has experience with these issues to advise me on them.

Hi guys,
I hit a road block lately with my new H1B application. I'm on extended OPT and filed for my H1B in regular processing in the month of Sep'10 while working for a Client A. The Client A could not provide an Client letter during that time. My employer has then proceeded with a letter from my Prime Vendor . Then, unfortunately after 1 month of filing my H1B, my contract with Client A ended and I moved to another contract with Client B. Now, USCIS had few questions with Client A because of missing client letter and gave a RFE on my case. My employer then responded with an amendment petition to the RFE with the new Client B and also provided a client letter from Client B this time around. But, unfortunately USCIS has rejected the amendment petition and stated they are looking for Client A stuff as the primary H1B application has listed Client A and now, I just received an update that my H1B has been denied stating the same reason that USCIS is still looking for response to the query on primary client (Client A). I'm really struck now as my employer is in no mans land whether to file for a MTR or not, fearing that USCIS might not change the verdict because they might still look for Client A letter.
I need your valuble advice in this situation ASAP.

Hi,
I just got my H1B visa and I am working. My wife is currently on F-1/OPT. We are both in the USA. Could you please advise me what is the required documents/steps to apply for her for H4 visa? are there any inf on the web? can I do that myself?
Thank you,
John
Like PMAT mentioned, I-539 is to be used, and you can do it by yourself, if you'd like. Download the latest form from http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/ (immigration forms).
You will need, I-129, photocopy of your passport, your I-94 (current), Photocopy of Marriage certificate.

Hi,
Can the work experience without H1B be countable when you apply for I140 (EB2, BS + 5yrs ) ?
I kept my part time job about 3 yrs while I was working as a full timer at other companies. But the problem is I was getting paid but didn't file H1B as a part timer. I know that I should have filed for H1B but I just had a H1B as a full timer with my other company. If I can count my part time work experience ( 3yrs part time / 2 = 1.5 yrs as full time) along with my full time experience (3.7 yrs), It exceeds 5 yrs of related work experience that requires for EB2.
Thanks, dbn

I have 2 questions:
While i did apply for my green card i never applied for the EAD since i thought my job was realtively safe. Now if i do get laid off since i am still on H1B what consequences does this have and can i switch to EAD without being illegal?
secondly i was raped a while back while on a trip for work in the us. I still suffer from PTST and other things because of this, is there any help withregard to my legal status?
I know there is some humanitarian things at uscis would those apply to me and can i make use of those?
Thanks!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate the grand opening of its new field office and application support center in Bedford on Thursday, Sept. 2, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, naturalization ceremony and tours of the facility. USCIS Associate Regional Director Shelley Goodwin will preside during the naturalization ceremony and will administer the Oath of Allegiance to 25 citizenship candidates. She will be joined by USCIS� Boston District Director Denis Riordan and USCIS� Manchester Field Office Director Simon Abi Nader.
Gov. John Lynch will join USCIS and delivering remarks for the special naturalization ceremony. Joining USCIS for the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be Bedford Town Manager Russell Marcoux, Mayor of Manchester Ted Gatsas and Glenn C. Rotondo, acting regional administrator of General Services Administration, New England region.
The new office, at 9 Ridgewood Road, will provide a range of immigration services, including naturalization interviews, lawful permanent resident processing, fingerprinting and photographic services and is well-suited to serve the area�s immigrant community. The new facility replaces the former Manchester location on Canal Street. The new office is based on a national model for new USCIS office locations throughout the country.
The new building is being dedicated to Sgt. Major Abraham Cohn, Civil War Medal of Honor recipient. Cohn was born in 1832 in Guttentag, an East Prussian town. He immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-19th century and fought for the Union during the Civil War serving with the 6th New Hampshire Infantry Volunteers. He was awarded the Medal of Honor �for conspicuous gallantry� in the Battle of the Wilderness (May 6, 1864) and �for bravery & coolness� at the Battle of the Crater (July 30, 1864).
The 25 citizenship candidates originate from 13 countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, France, Iran, Kosovo, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Sudan, Thailand and United Kingdom. The ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m. with the naturalization ceremony to follow at 1 p.m.

My husband is currently employed on a H1 visa and I am on a H4 visa. Our current visas(H1 and H4) are valid till January 2013. We are Candadian permanent residents who plan on ultimately applying for green cards and settling down in the US. I am a newbie in this arena and have a few questions that I tried searching answers for but couldn't find anything conclusive and would appreciate any answers
1) For various reasons can I stay back in the country for 4-6 months, while my husband goes back to Canada on the extended unpaid leave for the 4-6 months and comes back? Or if I leave with him now, can I come back after 6 months and stay here for 4-6 months? Are there any rules/regulations that prevent me from doing this. Please note that we live across the border in Canada and travel back/forth via car.
2) My hubby is planning on taking an extended unpaid leave from work( for personal and not health related reasons) and his employer is OK with that. This could be as short as 3 months and could be as long as a year. During this time we will be going back to Canada. Do you know if this will create any issues with immigration currently or in the future? How long can this leave exist?
3) If my husband ultimately comes back to a different job after this unpaid leave, will his chances of getting a visa for that new job be affected?
4) If he wants to take an extended leave do we need to leave the country? Can we take an extended leave and stay in the country? Will we be violating any rules/regulations if we do that?
5) Lets say we want to come back after 6 months, do we need to come back together?
6) If we are in Canada for the next 6 months, can we keep taking weekend trips to visit our families in US?
Would appreciate any information that anyone can provide on this.
Thanks,

I graduated in MS (I'm on H4 currently) recently.My previous degree is from India (passed out BCOM in 1999). I dont have any IT experience.
I'm talking with couple of companies about getting a H1. What documents I need to show for H1 for USCIS? Do I need to show any experience to USCIS?
Please reply
You need to have a job offer, a LCA for the job, educational evaluation, I-129 and copies of your passport/i94 and degree. A supporting letter from the employer is also needed. No experience letter is needed to apply for H1, but to get it stamped you may need it.

No you are not required to file a separate petition for your husband. When your sister files the I-130, she needs to put your husband's name on the same form.
When you file DS-230, Each family member that is eligible to travel to the United States with you under this visa classification is required to complete the DS-230 Part I. So separate DS-230 are required for you and your husband.
1. If you are a U.S.citizen you must file a separate Form I-130 for each eligible relative. You may file a Form I-130 for:
A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older;
D. Your married son or daughter of any age;
E. Your brother(s) or sister(s) (you must be age 21 or older);
F. Your mother or father (you must be age 21 or older).
If your relative qualifies under paragraph 1(C), 1(D), or 1(E) above, separate petitions are not required for his or her husband or wife or unmarried children under 21 years of age.

Hi
My middle name is given only initial on not full on 1-485 ,131 receipt but 765 has full name
can any one advise me on how to resolve it.
I am on H1 now and my H1 B approval also had my middle name as initial.
Why are you worried? Dropping middle name in North American naming conventions is common, but that should not matter.

mna,
first of all i am sorry to hear that your company is not doing good..oh well we are in a recession so who isnt?
anyways, your 485 was filed last month, kind of sucks, bcos you can invoke AC21 if your 140 is approved (in your case it is), 485 >180 days, find a similar job with more or exact pay mentioned in your LCA..Use your EAD and lose your H1 status ( could be risky if your AOS is denied, then you do not have a status).
In other case, you need to find a company which can sponsor (transfer your H1) and then start your perm all over again.
Other senior posters, pls shed some light on this topic. Is AC21 safe ? what is the probabilty of getting GC through AC21 without an RFE?
Thanks

Apparently, no movement for EB3 ROW from November 2006 - April 2007:
November - 2006: 01AUG02
April - 2007: 01AUG02
In May 2007, it jumped to 01AUG03. I hope that there will be a movement in Jan 2009, Feb 2009 VB but looking at the trends it doesn't smee like there will be any.

There are still some new members who keep posting that the bill S 1348 looks very good and it has SKIL provisions etc, because they get pointed to the last year's bill.
If you go on thomas.loc.gov and find bill text for S. 1348 you see a bill that is a copy-paste version of LAST YEAR'S SENATE BILL S. 2611.
That text is last years text that was initially put in place as a place-holder BEFORE the grand compromise was reached.
After the grand bargin (compromise/coalition) was reached, the text of the grand compromise replaced the entire text of last year's bill (that has SKIL) was the next text.
Amendment # 1150 (S.A. 1150) Sponsored by Sen. Kennedy is a 400 page amendment that replaces the entire text that was intially in the bill with the new text. Its a "Substitute" amendment.
Read the S. A. 1150 text. Its also on IV homepage as PDF. That is the bill now. Here is the link to that

I currently have approved EAD, I-140 and waiting for a Visa number to become available. My receipt date for I-485 was July 2nd 2007 and my notice date was September 27th. My employer is closing the IT department in March. Though it has been 180 days since my receipt date, it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available? Also, will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job? I sincerely appreciate the help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks.

You are right
This link says http://www.virginia.edu/iso/issp/OPTandH-1B.ppt#3
It is 90 days without employment on OPT. 10 days of unemployment between two jobs does not count towards the limit. You can also work part-time (20 hrs/week) or as a volunteer to stop the counter.
I recommend contacting your international department for details. They should be able to guide you depending on how useful/active they are!
